SWEET AS: The Full Valiant Comics November 2013 Solicitations

When we Kiwis find something we like, we say it's 'Sweet as'. With Valiant that's pretty much their whole range. An affordable, concise universe (all comics are $3.99), picking a few highlights and leaving others out is just wrong. Hence why here are their full solicits for November 2013, they really do define the 'Sweet As' grade:

The world's most dangerous man, Toyo Harada, has been struck by the one thing he never thought possible -- fear. Halfway across the globe, a new power threatens to topple modern civilization and, to preempt the cataclysm that is to come, Harada will unite the most lethal, most volatile, most unforgiving team the world has ever known -- Unity. Their mission: defeat the warrior king armed with the universe's most powerful weapon. Kill X-O Manowar!

X-O MANOWAR #19

QUANTUM AND WOODY #5
(W) James Asmus (A) Lee Garbett

ARCHER and ARMSTRONG #15
(W) Fred Van Lente (A) Khari Evans

Now that the Sect Civil War has begun, it is now a "grim" and "gritty" work of "sequential literature" with blood and headshots and naughty words and if you squint real hard at the backgrounds, maybe boobies.

4001 A.D. - Tohru Nakadai is the 42nd Rai, the spirit guardian of Japan. Infused with the energy of his ancestors and dedicated to the way of the samurai, Rai is sworn to the service of Grandmother -- the personified artificial intelligence that governs the island nation of Japan. For forty generations Grandmother's benevolent dominion has endured, but in the wake of her sudden disappearance, Rai will become all that stands between his nation and all-out chaos. As humanist factions war with mechanist loyalists for control of the future, the masterless Tohru is about to become the first Rai that must choose for himself how best to defend his people, his family, and his honor.
